I am, admittedly, a phone #birder and I often find myself feeling frustrated by that. I love Merlin but how much am I losing being beholden to it?

I’m proposing a new kind of snail girl spring, one that better reflects that snails are monsters and medieval marginalia was right to be afraid.

who let bee flies be so cute 🌸
An illustration of a bee fly! It’s a very fuzzy fly with a long proboscis and big dark eyes. It has two semi transparent veined wings. It is posed against a light purple background.

MAD MAX meets FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

A Grieving Smuggler🚚
A Fugitive Mage🔮
A Turncoat Huntsman🗡
The Heist of their Lives

My debut novel, BLACKBLOOD, is releasing April 1. It's up for preorder on Amazon and B&N and is available to add on Goodreads now 🖤

#YouDeservepIt #ya #f #p
The cover of the novel BLACKBLOOD by Kree Sullivan, surrounded by arrows pointing to its tropes: found family; enemies-to-???; blood magic; blood drinking; blood!; unapologetically feral lesbians; unapologetically feral enbies; one apologetically feral cis man Teenage smuggler, Armina, never intended to inherit the Blackblood, a truck loaded with illegal magical artifacts. But when tragedy strikes, leaving her in charge with only her irritable ex-girlfriend for company and with the magic-hating Huntsmen on her tail, she's determined to follow in the footsteps of her murdered Captain. When Armina discovers a fugitive mage hiding aboard her truck, dripping their black blood, she can't ignore their pleas for help. The mage desperately wants to rescue their mother from the Huntsmen's headquarters in the Western mountains, a mission Armina knows is doomed to fail, but one she can't ignore. As they tear across a dust bowl wasteland toward the dark spires in the west, secrets from Armina’s past come into view, lit by the blinding headlights of the roaring truck. Secrets that could endanger the mission, the truck, and her splintering found-family in the process.

I love how there’s a whole subgenre of horror right now where the premise is that it would inherently be terrifying if someone had a basement.
